Speaker 1 (00:00):
OSHA is investigating a death at a Lipsick manufacturing plant.
According to a report from WIO, Lipsick police were called
to Pretium packaging around two am Monday for a man
who was stuck in a machine. The victim, whose name
has not been released, was taken to Saint Rita's, where
he later passed away. OSHA says it will not release

(00:20):
any information until their investigation is completed. Today, the Lima
City Schools and Saint Rita's will announce a partnership that
will allow Lima Senior High School to expand its patient
care technology program and bring a new state of the
art interactive learning tool to the school. The district and
Mercy Health officials will hold a ribbon cutting this morning

(00:42):
at Lima Senior. The three year investment from Mercy allows
Lima Senior to add a classroom slash lab for its
growing patient care program. The additional space allows Patient Care
to enroll forty six juniors in the program this year,
double their previous number. Included in the vestment as additional
curriculum and a life sized virtual dissection tool that revolutionizes

(01:06):
how students learn anatomy. It brings cadaver level accuracy into
the classroom with no chemicals, mess or risk. Governor Mike
DeWine voiced concerns over youth marijuana use while in Dayton yesterday.
The Dayton Daily News reports that the governor cited his
opposition to legalizing marijuana, saying that it sent a signal

(01:27):
to kids that pot is okay. He pointed to the
increase in juvenile crimes related to cannabis over the last
two years and agreed that mental health is this generation's crisis.
Ultra processed foods are taking over Americans diets. We get
this report from NBC News radio's Brian Shook. According to

(01:48):
a first of its kind CDC report, about sixty two
percent of kids and teens daily calories come from ultra
processed foods, compared with fifty three percent for adults. Researchers
found the top source of ultra processed foods with sandwiches
such as burgers, hot dogs, and peanut butter and jelly,
followed by bakod, salty snacks and sugary drinks.

Speaker 2 (02:11):
That's Brian Shook reporting.

Speaker 1 (02:14):
The FAA says it plans to hire eighty nine hundred
air traffic controllers.

Speaker 2 (02:18):
Over the next three years.

Speaker 1 (02:20):
Yesterday, a plan was released with details on how the
FAA will address a shortage of air traffic controllers. The
report adds it expects to have only one thousand additional
certified controllers by the end of fiscal twenty twenty eight
because of washouts among the recruits. Discussions continue about a
potential meeting between President Trump and Russian President Putin, which

(02:42):
could come as soon as next week. Fox's Midelone Rivera reports.

Speaker 3 (02:46):
Sources familiar with the negotiations tell Fox that a Chump
Putin's summit was in the works as early as this
coming Monday, Rome was considered as a destination. Putin floated
idea of meeting of the United Arab Emirates. The summit, though,
fall apart because Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelenski tells the US
he won't be able to concede any territory in a
peace deal with Russia. Only the Ukrainian Parliament can do that.

(03:09):
The plan was initially told a bilateral meeting with Trump
and Putin followed by a trilateral meeting with the Trump, Putent,
and Zelenski, but the President suggested on Thursday a meeting
with Zelenski isn't a prerequisite for him.

Speaker 1 (03:21):
That's Fox's Madeline Rivera reporting the President had set today
as a deadline for Russia to make progress towards a
ceasefire and threatened additional sanctions against Russia along with tariffs
against Russia's trading partners if they didn't. And new rules
are coming for young adults in Ohio who want to
get a driver's license. Residents age eighteen to twenty will

(03:43):
have to complete a full driver's education course after September thirtieth.
Right now, the classes and training hours are only required
for sixteen and seventeen year olds looking to legally drive.
The Ohio Traffic Safety Office is the move is meant
to help improve skills and knowledge for young drivers and
avoid accidents. For the latest news at the top end
